HI

Refer below ,Hope it helps u

Alternative Calculation Type:

Normally if you want to calculate a value you have to use a calculation type for determinating the value. This calculation type is either addition, subtraction or multiplication. Similarly SAP also has got a default calculation type in the control data of the condition type. There you have the options of either Qty based , Fixed Amount Based or Percentage based.

Here what happens is suppose if you define Your condition type that calculates the base price of a material on Qty based. Then the calculation will be done based on the quantity of the material. If the customer orders 10 Nos and you have maintained a unit price of 100 Rs for each material then the value determined is 1000 INR. Similarly if the discount condition type , you maintain the calculation type as %. This means if you maintain the value of 10 % in the condition record. Then this percentage is taken as the calculation type and the condition value is determined.

In some cases you have to forego the default calculation types and use the customer specific method for calculating a value. For ex if you are calculating the Freight charges for a Material . it depends on so many criteria like, the weight, volume and also the minimum amount etc etc, in those cases, you forego the default value and then use the alternative calculation type in calculating the condition value against the particular condition.

alternative calculation type is used for gettting a figure or amount after doing such multipication,

Ex: calculation of tax of a employee

you will take example say gross salary is : 1000000

in that you will deduct standard deduction 100000

so remaining will be 900000

in that HRA say 100000

so remainin will be 800000

on this you have to calculate tax for first 100000 it will be 10%

for next 100000 to 250000 say it will be 15%

and for remaining amount it will be 30%

you will put all this calculation type in alternative calculation type

hope it clarifies your doubt

Hi,

Condition formula for alternative calculation type

Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition.

In that alternative condition type we have maintain one routine, when creating sales order that particular routine will caliculate values.

pls find the meaning of routine and also i maintained samll routine maintained here.

this routine is used of Net Price:

• value excluding tax

form frm_kondi_wert_002.

xkwert = komp-netwr.

endform.

Number of the routine used for copying

Definition

Number of a subroutine (= form routine), that checks a requirement at a specific time.

Use

The standard system contains some standard routines for checking requirements when copying. You can also define your own routines according to the needs of your company.

Example

If you copy a quotation to a sales order, the system can check every quotation item to ensure that the customer had not rejected them for any reason.

Procedure

The system proposes a routine for checking copying requirements according to the type of document to be copied. If you do not want to use the proposed routine you can do one of the following:

Enter the number of another routine.

Change the routine yourself and define specific requirements that should be checked. (Before you change a routine, you should check if it is used somewhere else, in order to avoid unwanted changes at another point).

You can enter the number of a new routine and define it using SAP development tools.

pls if u are satisified with answer pls pur its answered. and reward if its useful.
